My Heart Goes Out to You...

I have several drafts I've been working on, waiting to be finished and posted. So many things I want to tell you all, memes I've been tagged for, pictures to share...

But then, while traveling the blogosphere for the last two days, I came across four blogs that totally moved me. And I knew that I had to share them with you all.

I think sometimes we all get complacent, and forget that other people out there are dealing with issues so much bigger than we can even grasp. They make our day-to-day stress look like molehills to mountains.They need our support, prayers, vibes, juju, whatever you have to offer.

This lovely lady visited my blog recently. She left a comment and I went over to visit her blog. I was absolutely amazed and left in awe of her and her family. Their story is amazing, and right now little Dennis needs love and support. Can you visit and leave some love?

And then there's Kori. I can't even imagine what she and her family go through on a daily basis. Their strength amazes me. They are also in a time of need right now; need of prayers, support, and understanding.

One more thing....my long-time bloggy friend, Krissy, just suffered a major loss. Her family is devastated.

Please take some of your blogging time and visit these people. It may give you a different perspective. It will almost definitely deeply move you, and make you pause to think about what other people are going through, and where our focus should be in life.

*One more thing...if anyone knows how to set up a PayPal account for donations for someone, please let me know...and please don't make it complicated! I can't do complicated!*

I know how to set up a Paypal account, but I'm not sure how you set it up for donations. You'll have to provide your bank account and I think your Visa card numbers, so I'm not sure how that works with a donation situation. There's probably something about it on the website.

Hello there!! :) we are lucky that I'm typing this and not trying to talk to you... why?? oh b/c I have NO voice. Ugh. just the other day I commented to you about this... and dammit it happened to me. ARRR.

But in the scheme of things this is NOT bad at all. I just went and visited all the blogs you have listed in your post and left them all comment love. I plan on keeping up with them all probably adding them to my blog roll IF they don't mind. thank you for sharing. it does put everything into a better perspective when you see real people dealing with REAL problems. made me rethink my complaining lately. thank you.

Have a great night and I hope your voice is back... I know I have at least a few more days ahead of me of no voice... ugh. but like I said it could be worse.

Thank you so much for your kind words, good thoughts and prayers for Mike and our family. We have results but, unfortunately, the results give us no more answers than we had before. It is quite frightening to know your 2 year old has a tumor that even the best neuro-pathologists in the United States can not identify.Thank you so much for posting about us on your blog and asking for prayers on our behalf. It means so much to us to know that so many people are praying for Mike. Please keep those good thoughts and prayers coming!
